Visual Comfort Bau 36 Bath Light | Sean Lavin | ADA | Bauhaus Design | Black, Brass or Nickel

The Bau 36 Bath Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort Modern extends the Bauhaus design logic of the Bau collection to its largest bathroom format — two thin rectangular metal plates in a clean 36-inch horizontal or vertical bar, with the integrated LED strip housed between them casting soft, even light downward onto the face or mirror below. At 36 inches, it suits mirrors up to 48 inches wide in a horizontal above-mirror installation, or flanks a very large mirror in vertical pairs for the most balanced facial illumination. The design reads as a precise architectural element rather than a fixture — which is the point.

The Bau 36 delivers warm 3000K illumination from its integrated LED module, damp rated for bathroom and humid-environment installations. Dimmable on 120V with ELV or TRIAC dimmers and on 277V with a 0-10V dimmer, making it appropriate for commercial hospitality bathrooms as well as residential master baths. ADA compliant in both horizontal and vertical mount orientations. Available in Nightshade Black, Natural Brass, and Polished Nickel. The Natural Brass is a living finish that will develop a warm patina over time.

Why It Works in Your Space
The 36-inch format is the right choice for master bathroom mirrors 36–60 inches wide, or for large powder room statements where a 24-inch bar would look undersized. Mounted horizontally, it provides balanced above-mirror illumination for a wide range of mirror widths. Mounted vertically as a pair flanking a large mirror (60" or wider), it provides the most professional, studio-style facial lighting for detailed grooming tasks. The Nightshade Black makes a strong graphic statement against white and light-toned tile; Natural Brass adds warmth that pairs well with aged bronze, terracotta, and warm stone; Polished Nickel suits silver-toned hardware and cooler palettes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Bau 36 Bath compare to the Bau 24?
A: The Bau 36 (36") is scaled for mirrors 36–60 inches wide in a horizontal above-mirror mount, or for flanking very large mirrors in vertical pairs. The Bau 24 suits smaller mirrors and powder rooms. Both share the same two-plate Bauhaus design and finish options.

Q: Can it be mounted vertically?
A: Yes — the Bau 36 mounts both horizontally and vertically, and is ADA compliant in both orientations. Vertical flanking pairs provide the most balanced facial illumination for makeup and grooming.

Q: Is the Bau 36 dimmable?
A: Yes — ELV or TRIAC dimmers on 120V, and 0-10V dimmers on 277V. Consult your electrician for compatible switch options.
